What is the evidence leadership isn’t as strong or that McD isn’t getting through? He managed a poor season in which the OC was fired and now has the team playing well at the right time with a chance for 2 seed. I think there’s a stronger argument that his leadership is what kept the season from going off the talks than there is an argument that he’s not getting through.

It said rest so that’s why DNP but obviously he’s getting treated for ribs too. But he should be good to go

Dont know how to post injury report here but link is here:https://www.buffalobills.com/team/injury-report/ Floyd is DNP with Ribs/Rest, Von is on Vet rest (insert joke here) Josh was full with finger/shoulder Hyde limited with Neck Damar limited with shoulder

agree the fans dont make the home field advantage that great but the elements certainly do. It is unfair and maybe unhealthy the set up they have down there. It is very difficult to to overcome. McDaniel has only lost 3 games at home and only 1 was prior to December (vikings last year without Tua). I think the offense is better because of the heat. The noise helps but that heat is crazy. Do you think Titans win that game in the afternoon in Sept or Oct? I think they wouldnt have the gas after baking all day.

Im not sure what this post is saying. There havent been 292 games this season as there are only 272 in the regular season that we are not done with. Are you saying the AFC versus NFC record is split? thats not correct as AFC is +12 by my count. So confused what you are trying to say wit these numbers.

Small market big drama. Feel like everyone on the board knew we were gonna get the fins for the division in week 18 after they blew against the Titans. That lone is a good story but to mix it with "or else miss the playoffs" is just entertainment gold that isnt even available to other team sports. the variance with the outcomes of this game is absolutely bonkers.

I'm partial to the shah's spleen discussion but yeah those were solid.

Howard Waddle missed last game is also likely out Mostert missed last game will likely play Tua left 4th quarter of a blowout with an injury but will probably play. They are also down starting center, a guard (i think), DE phillips. And know that it enters my head Armstead is probably banged up too

While he can and does get beat up in a way that affect his play. Hes been available better than any of his peers. Really insane the way he keeps going with the way he runs. would love a better back up but it has to come via the draft as @mrags said cause we cant really afford a proven one.

1) OL has been super healthy this year and Josh has the longest active starting streak for a QB over Mahomes by a lot. Combined with our recent history of not getting hurt (2017-2021) I think our luck just caught up with us the past two years. Maybe the criticism is the way they handled the London game, but that doesnt seem like a reason for firing if we have done well in the normal situations. 2) Why? like i would want him to get one but are you saying hes not calling the plays at the right time and situations? I think he is as we lately keep stiffening up when teams get in FG range. 3) Maybe. Hes not mistake free but also has some good decisions even lately. Wish he was getting more flowers for calling TO on 3rd and 1 with 2:41 to go when we were in shotgun. Coming out of TO did buffalo shove for a first down. I 100% disagree next season is a make or break season for him. We just set a franchise record for 5 seasons with 10 wins in a row. You totally lost me when you just said you copied it from Miami board. Start a new thread for this stuff and get it out of the game day thread please.

Yeah thats a great point and i wouldnt support an extension more than 2 years. Also I wouldnt gurantee any salary after 2024 (though would probably have a signing bonus that spreads across the remaining years). that can hopefully give us some cap flexibility which we need. Agree with Ingram and Brown being on the team next year (futures contract i think). Agree Dane is interesting. We are loaded and CB is always a need so I think Dane finds a home. Cam is a safety at this point and has completed his conversion from CB. I think we are in good to great shape at CB no matter what Elam does as we currently have an above average top pair, Tre as CB3, and Elam being CB4 under contract next year.

It def could happen. I think we know soon as he has a roster bonus due the 5th day of the new league year in march. Wouldnt be shocked to see him take a pay cut cause sorta the good dude he is. youll be happy to know we dont need to re-sign douglas as he is under contract next year for 9m which i am very happy with. might even extend a year or two to get that number down with some gurantees.

Agree and good context i missed. I so wish Tre can find a way to return to form but Im not expecting it. 100% tre with Rasul would help what will be probably at least 1 new safety next year.

Lol im gonna need you to put some respect on Tre's name. Tre has always been a playmaker at a rate as good or better than Rasul (his time as a Bill is not enough sample size to make such definitive statements). Tre has 20 less games in his career and only 1 less pick (18 for Tre) and 6 less PDs (74 for Rasul). Tre has also had 5 FF to Douglas's 2 (I consider FF to be making the play and FR a bit of luck, though again 5 for Tre and 3 for Rasul). Rasul has played out of his mind (clear defensive player of the week to me) as a Bill but lets not throw shade on Tre cause of that.

Correction its only a loss 98% of the time when you turn if over like we did against chargers. God im so glad we pulled that game off.

Youre not wrong but i think they are worse now without Howard and Chubb and getting. That doesnt mean i expect a blow out like last game cause i think were a bit worse off with Milano out, DQ getting back to speed, Rasoul for Tre is probably a wash if not an advantage. Also our offense doesnt have a lot of momentum right now like it did last game coming off the stomping of Commanders and Raiders. I sorta would let week 4 make me feel good we can beat them but everything else from that game should probably be forgotten its so long ago.

Pretty foolish to call trying for 2 home playoff games for a 7-1 team at home “foolish pride”.

Yes if jags win they win division. But if they lose the winner is the winner of the game the day before. So the winner of the Saturday colts Texans game will be either the 7 seed (likely) or 4 seed (if jags lose)

Colts are win and in. Same with Texans. Question is the winner the 7 seed or 4

Might be wet though. Looks like there’s a system brewing

Lol. Week 1 is so long ago. How about the game we almost screwed up against chargers. Week 1 is an eternity ago.

Yes most likely but if jags lose the next day the winner is the afc south winner

Also hopefully jags lose so we’re in

We are the two seed or out probably. Im gonna think ahead. I ain’t a player

We agree and I was laughing cause I saw it similar. Those two and waddle play was my guess. But seems less likely that waddle plays I think our offense is a lot of tackle wrap at van ginkel then. If you can keep sieler and wilkinson controlled then their back up DEs are gonna struggle against Dawkins coming at them
